The Tunguska Event was a massive explosion which took place on 30 June, 1908 (or 17 June, if you're going by the Julian calendar still in use in Russia at the time). Due to the mystery and scientific intrigue surrounding the explosion, the Tunguska Event has become widely depicted in popular culture. Shortly after 7 a.m., residents of the hills northwest of Lake Baikal in Siberia saw a light in the sky, one described as being "nearly as bright as the sun". This was followed by a flash of light, a sound like artillery fire, and a shockwave strong enough to shatter windows and knock people off their feet. Something had exploded in the forest near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, later calculated to have released energy equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT (though some recent experiments indicate that the blast may have actually been smaller, at "only" 3-5 megatons). In 1921, Russian mineralogist Leonid Kulik concluded from eyewitness accounts that the explosion was from a meteorite impact. He led an expedition to the Tunguska region, hoping to find and salvage the meteor itself. Instead, they found a 50 kilometer-wide region of scorched and felled trees, with no impact crater to be found. Subsequent investigations have attempted to find explanations for the disappearance of the meteor — the closest effort to finding it came in 2013, when a team of researchers researched micro-samples of minerals from the center of the affected area (each less than a millimeter across), determining that they may been of extraterrestrial origin. A small lake (Cheko) was suggested to have originated from the impact note It's absent from 19th century maps (albeit rather inaccurate ones) and appears only from 1929 onward, it has unusual shape, and it's only 8 km from the epicenter, but analysis of sediment samples from the lakebed has ruled out this theorynote The lake had existed for centuries prior to the blast, and was only missing from maps due to the region being mostly unexplored wilderness. Today, most scientists agree that the Tunguska Event was caused by a meteoroid exploding in mid-air rather than directly impacting. While such air-bursts are common at higher altitudes, they are rarely close enough to Earth's surface to cause damage. There's some debate over whether the exploding space rock came from a comet (which would explain lack of a solid meteorite body) or an asteroid. Whichever the case, and even if there technically wasn't a true "impact" from a massive space rock, the Tunguska Event is identified as the largest impact event in human recorded history on Earth (though much larger impacts have occurred in prehistoric times) — had the location been different, the explosion of its sheer size could have wiped out a large metropolitan area. Other less credible, but more interesting, theories suggest that the event was caused by: a deuterium-rich meteorite causing an all-natural thermonuclear explosion; a chunk of antimatter; a miniature black hole passing through the Earth; an alien spacecraft crashing or discharging some kind of superweapon; psychic experiments or magic rituals gone wrong; or a test run of Nikola Tesla's Death Ray. It has also been noted that recent explosions in Siberia, leaving impressive craters and downed trees, are due to pockets of methane being released from defrosting tundra; global warming is speeding up this process and creating another interesting consequence. It has been speculated the Tunguska Event might have been due to a really big build-up of subterranean methane that found its way out. On February 15, 2013, a 50 foot, 7000 ton meteor airburst over the Chelyabinsk Oblast, releasing the equivalent of 300 kilotons of TNT and injuring 1,200 people. Thanks to the many Russian motorists who use dashcams (to settle traffic and speeding disputes), the Chelyabinsk Superbolide was no mystery, and coincidentally was the largest explosion from an extraterrestrial source since the Tunguska Event. As shown by the examples below, the Tunguska Event has become a go-to "mysterious explosion" for any fiction writer who wants to put a sprinkling of real-world history on their work.

In the Hunter: The Vigil sourcebook Witch Finders, the Knights of St. George blame the Tunguska Event on one of their number failing to prevent the summoning of a "faceless angel", one of the Eldritch Abomination entities their order worships/wards off. Who's right is, as always, up to the Storyteller. It could easily be both, whether because the Promethean got the wrong number, because the qashmal's presence itself attracted the Angel's attention, or the qashmallim and Faceless Angels are the same creatures... | |

In the Old World of Darkness, The Tunguska Event was the climax of an epic battle between a cabal of Mages and an ancient dragon. Unless you're the Void Engineers, of course, in which case it's the result of the Engineers finding an alien ship somewhere in the Deep Universe and accidentally setting off its main weapon. Cue mini-singularity landing in Russia. |

This popped up at the end of Assassin's Creed, when you get into the files of the Ancient Conspiracy, it lists a whole bunch of famed artifacts and strange incidents that are connected to, stolen by, or caused by said Conspiracy. The list includes the Tunguska Incident, which was apparently the explosion of a covert laboratory under their control, conducting research on some kind of alien artifact - which, predictably, blew up in their face. The Truth segments in the sequel confirm that it was the destruction of Piece of Eden 34, the Staff with Nikola Tesla's Thought Bomb that caused the event. Expanded on even further in the comic book spinoff, Assassin's Creed: The Fall, where it turns out the protagonist's ancestor was an Assassin sent to retrieve the Staff from a Templar lab. It's not clear who, if anyone, actually wanted it destroyed — if it wasn't simply caught in the explosion because they didn't clear the lab in time. |

The Dresden Files: Ebenezar McCoy takes credit for this in one book. He probably used an actual asteroid, too: doing so is within his capacity.note In one book he kills a Red Court vampire lord by deorbiting an old Soviet satellite onto him. A later book reveals that he was killing a dragon with it. Not the Western winged lizard kind, either - the Eastern Physical God kind. |

The Ultimate Marvel Ultimate Galactus Trilogy miniseries revealed in the first mini (Ultimate Nightmare) that the Tunguska Incident was caused by the Vision crash-landing to Earth. He (she?) was quickly taken into Russian custody and dissected so its Organic Technology could be used to kickstart a Super-Soldier project, which means no one learned about Gah Lak Tus until about a year before he was supposed to eat Earth. In this universe the Tunguska explosion was said to have happened in 1904 instead of 1908, and Word of God is that the date was moved to make it a century before the release date of the comic in 2004. Warren Ellis, as a rule, does his research. | |

Schlock Mercenary's UNS battleplates - the biggest, baddest, mobile space battle fortresses in the terrestrial fleet - were ostensibly designed to protect against asteroid impacts. They are named for places on Earth subjected to such impacts. The one that Big Bad General Xinchub uses as a flagship for a while is named Tunguska, nicknamed "Gus" for purposes of interacting with the AI. It blew up good — turns out horribly abusing gravitics to show off in the presence of dark matter aliens that dwarf even your impossibly immense ship and are annoyed by the use of gravitics is a bad idea. | |

In the backstory to Tomorrowland, presented in the book Before Tomorrowland, the Tunguska Event was an early test conducted by Nikola Tesla and the Plus Ultra organization to open a rift into an alternate dimension via the atomic bomb. The devastating power of the Tunguska bomb led to the organization looking to alternate technologies. The Manhattan Project as it turns out was an effort to tone down Plus Ultra's original designs into weapons that wouldn't blow big holes in the fabric of reality. | |

In Secret City the event is never called by name, but explosion was caused by The Lesser Poseidon's Throne, humans' Source of mana, going critical after removal of controlling artefact. This was used to cover tracks of experimental world-hopping ritual from the Great Houses. Throne was presumed to be destroyed in the event, but actually it flew around a bit and then crash-landed, embedding itself in some random hill to be found by Soviets later. | |

The Call of Cthulhu main rules hint that the event may have been caused by someone summoning Azathoth to the area. The adventure The Spawn of Azathoth specifies: It was caused by a Seed of Azathoth entering the Earth's atmosphere. The Seed was thrown off by the Spawn of Azathoth (AKA Nemesis) circling the Solar System outside the orbit of Pluto. The devastation caused by the Karotechia from Delta Green trying to summon Azathoth at Naudabaum castle is likened to Tunguska, suggesting the two events have similar causes. Eldritch Horror has its own version of the Seed of Azathoth adventure. It's also one of the wilderness sites for expeditions. |

Steven Universe: In "It Could've Been Great", Peridot shows Steven the global plans of the Homeworld's colony. The map◊ shows a giant rift forming an ocean where a large part of Russian Siberia should be, as an indication of the Gem war's effects with its Alternate History. The gem structure at the center of the ocean is right about where the Tunguska Event occurred. A map in the show's artbook labels the gem site as the Galaxy Warp and the body of water as the "Tunguska Sea". | |

In Zoofights 4, the Tunguska Event was actually a Cthulhu-esque alien crashing to Earth. In Zoofights tradition, they welded a bunch of armor plates to it and gave it two assault cannons and a rocket launcher.

Fate/Grand Order: A major event from the Cosmos In The Lostbelt arc involves Chaldea heading to Tunguska to battle and defeat recurring antagonist Koyanskaya. The event reveals that Koyanskaya is a nature spirit created from the dying lamentations/prayers of the animals killed during the Tunguska Event and the raw power of meteor explosion itself. As many animals were driven to Tunguska because of hunting from humans, they blamed the humans for the event, and thus Koyanskaya's initial stated goal is to become a Beast of Humanity to carry their vengeance on all humans. However, as she intellectually knows it was just a natural disaster, the compulsion to actively pursue mankind's extinction doesn't exist within her and she's actually far more interested in using those Beast powers to create a world completely free and separate from human influence. | |

Girls' Frontline's divergence point from the real world timeline begins in the early 20th century when the Russian Empire discovers a buried alien ruin in the Siberian tundra. Their mining efforts to excavate the site inadvertently set off a reactor core in the ruin and causes the Tunguska event. Regardless, some alien relics are recovered and research into them continues even after the Bolshevik Revolution establishes the Soviet Union. While World War II occurs mostly unchanged, it is during the Cold War when additional alien ruins are found near Shanghai (including the body of an actual alien, code-named "GAVIRUL") where the game's setting goes into full-on Alternate History, with the U.S. using alien tech in the Vietnam War and the Soviets doing the same in their invasion of Afghanistan. | |

Among them is a cylindrical object, what will later turn out to be a quasi-Time Machine, labelled EON.

One of the old Shadowrun gamebooks contains a shadowtalk reference, apparently from one of the immortal elves, which claims they were actually trying to hit a comet with the asteroid that struck Tunguska. Given the conspiracy-theory-obsessed tone of the conversation, this was probably a joke, if not a deliberate Lampshading of early Shadowrun writers' own tendency to trace far too much of real-world past history to the meddlings of immortal elves and/or dragons. | |

William Barton and Michael Capobianco wrote the 1995 Sherlock Holmes short story "The Adventure of the Russian Grave" in which Professor Moriarty's only canonical mathematical paper, The Dynamics Of An Asteroid, is a Batman Gambit designed to engage Holmes' love of mysteries. It is a trap intended to bring him and Watson to Tunguska on that day at that time. When Holmes realizes this, he and Watson run for their lives, barely making it out alive. | |

It's referenced in two different New World of Darkness books, with two (possibly) different causes: A sidebar in one of the books for Promethean: The Created describes a Promethean obsessed with studying the mysteries of the Divine Fire who attempted to summon an arch-qashmal, a being made up of the very energy that powers the universe. Those who last talked to him saw him in the vicinity of Tunguska in 1908... In the Hunter: The Vigil sourcebook Witch Finders, the Knights of St. George blame the Tunguska Event on one of their number failing to prevent the summoning of a "faceless angel", one of the Eldritch Abomination entities their order worships/wards off. Who's right is, as always, up to the Storyteller. It could easily be both, whether because the Promethean got the wrong number, because the qashmal's presence itself attracted the Angel's attention, or the qashmallim and Faceless Angels are the same creatures... |

In Leviathan, Nikola Tesla caused the explosion by using his Death Ray, Goliath. He wishes to use this weapon to stop the ongoing war. Subverted in that it doesn't work. The explosion at Tunguska was actually caused by an asteroid like in real life, and Tesla was only testing Goliath at the same time and ended up believing that he caused the explosion. | |

In Kage Baker's The Company Novels, a defective Immortal claims responsibility for the event, saying that he found that using time travel in a manner other than the series' standard Stable Time Loop method will punch holes in the fabric of reality. He also claims to have wiped out the dinosaurs. It isn't clear if this is the truth, though; he might've been lying, or just completely insane. | |

In Say It Thrice, a crossover between Beetlejuice and Danny Phantom, the event was caused by a ghost in possession of the Gem of Osiris. | |
